Islamophobia? What's in a Word?
I always though this word, islamophobia, was just another of those terms like 'gender affirming care' , which is neither 'affirming' or 'care' as most people understand these words to mean, and which grossly misrepresent what is under discussion, in this example, genital mutilation.
As for 'islamophobia', what does that word mean? An irrational fear of Islam?
Safe here in Canada for the present at least, most folks do not 'hate' or even 'fear' Islam, but many have reservations about what they hear and see, as some also have concerns about Catholics, Evangelicals, Jehovah's Witnesses -- and atheists. Taken literally, they worry about what these beliefs carried to extremes might lead to.
As for irrational fear, what is irrational about being concerned that some Moslems take the most threatening and outdated passages in their holy book literally and that some actively use Islam to justify atrocities or that civic authorities often accommodate and protect Islam when at the same time refusing the same protections to other persuasions,
Who, even those of us with concerns about Sharia Law and excessive concessions to Islamic dictates, has the time to 'hate' Islam or our Moslem neighbours?
What would be a better, albeit less catchy term?
Islamowatcher?
Concerned Citizen?

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
